Manikin, 2 years agoVery nice Scott ! Doll look like a German Kestner bisque doll by her painting :-)

scottvez, 2 years agoThanks for the info manikin. Do these date back to the 1890s or earlier?

Manikin, 2 years agoBisque dolls like her followed China's in production, they so to speak were prettier to girls and Came into being very late 1890' to early 1900's ending their glory days by 1920's but were made into 30's followed by cheaper novelty doll of a crude bisque and generally sold to import as doll house dolls or as I said novelty . The ones with closed mouth meaning having no teeth are more valuable on market your photo is what is called a open mouth dolly face . So she would fall into the 1890's easily . I agree someone forgot to comb girls hair though :-) She appears to be dressed early 1900 not later than 1910 .
